ELEAZER Clemso^Extension Information Specialist Frostbite isn’t as simple an ailment as you might think. Frost bite is an injury to tissues caused by exposure to temperature below freezing. The damage happens be cause the blood vessels close down either partially or totally, cutting off nourishment to the tissues af fected. This results in either part ial or total death of the tissue. Se vere frostbite cases become gan grenous and you lose a finger, toe or an ear. The first sign of frostbite is a greyish or whitish patch on the skin, a sort of blanching. This is usually numb, but not always. Proper clotjiing will prevent most frostbite. But clothing itself cannot generate warmth. Clothing keeps us warm by trapping body heat and preventing It from escap ing. It’s an insulator. You can take advantage of this in two ways: 1) wear clothes that trap many small pockets of air in the weave or pile of the fabric and 2) wear multiple layers of clothing so you’ ll get air spaces between layers. Avoid . overdressing. Too much clothing makes you sweat and wet clothes conduct heat away from the body. If you are sweating pro fusely, loosen your clothing or re move a damp inner garment If you do get frostbite, here are the basic first aid measures as listed by Dr. A. Michaels for Sports Afield readers: 1) Get out of the cold and into warm Shelter. 2) Use body heat to warm the part Never use external heat warmer than body heat. If 1 the frostbite is on your face, ears or trunk, cover it with a warm, un gloved hand. If your fingers are frostbitten, place them inside your shirt up against your body. If a foot is frostbitten, remove your shoe and sock and put the foot against the body of another per son. Never rub snow or ice on frostbite. Never rub at all. 3) If the skin is broken, cover the area with a sterile dressing. Don’t use strong antiseptics. )4 Take warm food and drink, 5) Get medical aid.

About half enough equipment saved the day for my three bro thers who are still on the farm in Tattnall county, Georgia. It was enough to save their tobacco crop and they made over three times as much per acre as neighbors who normally run nip and tuck with them.” County Agent Livingston of Dil lon told me Joe Temple of Lake View got $666.75 more per acre for his irrigated tobacco. The • other too was pretty good tobacco. But the added’ pounds and quality made up that difference in favor of identical tobacco that was watered 3 times. Clemson has averaged well over a half bale of cotton increase from irrigation for a number of years. Properly used, irrigation, where you have the water, is our most powerful yield insurance. Do all the other things needed, and it can then help you nail down the payoff. “Keep plugging?” Yes. Results from both experiment and farm ex perience prods us onU have. But these bring back a lot of inspiration that’s passed on to the others in their Clubs. While there, the great city is theirs. And it’s hard to tell which Is the most delighted, they at being there or the great city over having them there. Tops in entertainment, sight-seeing, and inspirational fea tures are theirs for every minute of the busy days and Into the nights. 4-H has many rewards. And surely one of the crowning ones is a trip to the Congress in Chica go. But the greatest asset is the high type future citizen it is help ing build. T* t F»- r n “My wife used to bans: up our garage, too. Then Purcell’s gave me the idea of financing a new car, and now my wife’s afraid to drive it!” They’re mighty nice folks to know, espec ially when buying a new car or refinancing your old one. u r c e l l 3 “Your Private Bankers” 1418 Main St. Newberry TURNIPSEED The venerable Rhett Turnip seed, well-known retired minister in this state, was to open a region* alseedsmen’s convention at Clem* son with prayer some time ago. When the chairman announced the opening prayer would be by Her. Tumipseed, therrf was a lot of snickering in the audience. They thought he was trying to be fun ny. FUTURE LEADERS Of the National 4-H Club Con gress that met for a week in Chicago in early December, Ad* ministrator C. M. Ferguson, of the Extension Service wrote: “I was able t,o attend only I day, but during that time took pride in agreeing with many of those present that the country is safe in the hands of future leaders like these.** There were 1,250 4-H boy and girl delegates there from states and Territories. We had about our share, with 28 there from South Carolina. I attended that memorable af fair twice back when I was county agent. And now I can think of no more inspiring and interesting ex perience that could come to a boy or girl than to win one of those trips. That’s one thing money can’t buy. These farm youngsters are the only ones eligible to go. And they earn it by the excellence of their work in 4-H back there in their community and their farm home. And only 28 can go from the fifty odd thousand members we COTTON NOW Last year there were 109,000 work-sheets covering farms In South Carolina. Mr. Hamilton tells me they included pratically all of the farm land in the state. Of these, 73,723 received cotton acreage allotments. But 8,147 of these didn’t, plant it. This left a total of 64,576 with cotton planted in 1954, and 44,403 without it We had a total allotment of 929,- 000 acres of cotton in 1954. But we only planted 826,000 acres, 1 or 88 percent of it. That left 103,000 acres of allotted cotton that we did not plant , This year our allotted acres is 774,000. This is 155,000 less than we were allotted last year, and 52,000 acres less than we planted. One thing that’s hurtin* is the fact that we are not planting our full allotted acres, according to Mr. Hamilton. For planted acres is the main figure used in making future allotments. The West is planting theirs, hut we are not So their allotted acreage is holding dp better than ours. And every new allotted acre they get produces about twice the cotton the saide acre would have here. And that just adds to cotton’s troubles twige as fasL That's the cotton picture as it looks now. Prosperity P. T. A. Meets Monday The Prosperity Parent Teacher Association will meet on Monday nighty January 17, 1955 in the high school auditorium at 8:00 p.m. Sgt. Billy E. Fallaw of the South Carolina Highway Department will speak on “Safety For Our Chil dren.” , . All members and friends are urged to attend this most informa tive meeting. Pappy Ought To Have Kept His Mouth Shut Gaston Dominici, the 77-year-old French farmer charged with the murders of J Sir Jack and Lady Drummond and their daughters, shouted at his trial at Digne (Sou them France) that he had been accused of the triple murder to shield someone in his fafblly. It was the fourth day of bitter family recrimination and the old farmer’s grandson and one of his daughters added more confusing evidence to the mass of accusation and counter-accusation. While his grandson, 18-year-old Roger Perrin, stood trembling in the witness box, the “Lion of Lurs” roared across the court room: > “Why does my son Clovis ac cuse me if it is not to shield someone in the family?” Asked if he suspected other members of the family, Dominici replied “Yes.” But he refused, to give any names. He repeated the doubts he had expressed earlier about his grand son Roger, adding: “He is a crafty boy.” “Do you think he would be ca pable of committing a triple mur der?” interjected the judge. Dominici muttered into his heavy moustache. Roger had just finished 90 min-, utes in the witness box, contra dicting himself repeatedly, ap parently without embarrassment. The youth, who was just 16 when the crime was committed, listened unabashed when Judge Bousquet punched holes in his story. Roger admitted telling a string of lies to the police about the murders. He said that his pretty aunt Yvette had told him to do so. The Advocate-General, Callixte Rozan, shrugged his shoulders as Roger was allowed to stand down. “What can you do?” Rozan said. “He lies like he breathes.” Roger was followed to the stand Miscellaneous Items Offered To Public At Camp Stewart Sale 6 — A sealed bid sale of used government-owned property at Camp Stewart was announced to day by Lieutenant Colonel Fred E.

Perrin cam^ to our farm one night and told' us that tie had caught his wife with some one else the night before.” Madaihe Perrin, her lace flush ed, admitted the accusation —- “Yes . . \ but (f my father had not made a fuss my husband would have said nothing.” -—t—i Sealed bids, which must be ac companied by a 20% deposit, will be accepted until 2:00 p. m., Jan uary 20, 1955, when they will be opened publicly at the Camp Stew art Property Disposal Office, Building No. 1031.
